- Gallery hashtags are once again functioning for new uploads to the Gallery.
Fixed in Patch 1.37.35
I do not know if the hashtags work when they where posted while this was broken. You may need to reupload your creations
Good Luck

Hi--you probably know this--but hashtags aren't working in the Gallery for anyone! It would be incredibly helpful if they could be fixed soon. It is well nigh impossible to navigate the gallery-and I have a challenge going on too. If people enter I will not be able to find their entries. Surely if this has happened more than once it can be fixed soon! It obviously has something to do with Pets because the letter P is the only one that still responds to being #

Thanks for chiming in Gill, and to the OP for bringing it up! This really does cause an issue not only when searching things, but when trying to get attention of specific creators as well. Hopefully they will get it fixed soon, and with a bit of luck, we won't have to reupload things.
To be further specific, the issue has mostly to do with the Gallery from in-game. If you view the Gallery from your web browser at EA.com, hashtags are still clickable, both older and newer ones. However, any created after the patch, while they will take you to the selection of gallery items linked to that hashtag, won't show up there themselves.

So happy to hear this is happening to everyone!!! It's been driving me crazy and I've been so upset thinking that I'm the only one!

The gallery is slowly shattered. Not only tags are not working, but creations disappear from the catalogs.. From my catalog over 10 houses disappeared yesterday including all those which received the Maxis Award.
This is really sad. All new works I have to keep from now in my computer in the archive. Thankfully, the French have made new Tray Importer...

I have the same problem. My language is English, I don't have any cc or mods (played on vanilla since Sims 4 came out). I created few dog breeds and share them on a gallery but the hashtags are black and I can't click them and if I try to search for them just using their hashtags they don't come up. Searching by origin id and name works just fine.

Hi,
I would like to add that without the hashtags working how can we possibly enter the now highly publicized SPCA challenge? How will anyone be able to find our entries?? It's no good EA unveiling a huge endeavor like this when whatever we create will simply not be found....
